YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER 



March 2Q, 18Q5 



(Georgia) 



T CERTAINLY thought I saw this 

 ■■■ handsome bird in Elmhurst a year ago, 

 and yet it had a striped back. I cannot 

 be sure that I did. This one in Georgia 

 has a blue-ash back, and with the black tri- 

 angle back of his eyes, and his bright yel- 

 low throat is certainly almost as beautiful 

 as the magnolia warbler. His song was 

 quite loud, and varied, usually about six 

 or eight notes and then a trill on another 

 key. An unmistakable "warbler song" to 

 my way of thinking, and not like the in- 

 digo's as the book says. 



April i£, i8g$. I saw this bird again 

 here in Georgia and the song this time con- 

 sisted of several notes ending in a trill very 

 much like a chipping sparrow.
